Introduction

Kettle soups are a brilliant solution when you don’t have access to a proper kitchen but feel like a warm meal. All you need is some boiling water and a heatproof container, preferably with a lid. If you haven’t ever used dashi, an instant Japanese fish stock, I highly recommend giving it a go. You’ll need to go to a large supermarket or an Asian grocery store to find it (and the nori sheet) but it will keep in the pantry for years. If that seems like too much trouble, just use a good-quality chicken or vegetable stock or bouillon powder.
